The early bird catches the worm.
Not hard to write a preview from a Carlisle United perspective. Our squad looks stretched and lacking quality, the interim managerial trio look confused and although everyone keeps saying we've "improved", we've lost both games since Judas departed.
Fleetwood?
On paper they play an expansive 3-1-4-2 system and although they've only won one game they've also only lost one and have also beaten West Brom and Rotherham in the EFL Cup, so look in miles better shape than we do.
They've had the luxury of being able to bench a player of Matty Virtue's quality as it's another of their pre-season signings, the left-footed MacKenzie Hunt, who has weighed in with a couple of assists from central midfield. And it's in the midfield area where Fleetwood have easily surpassed our recent recruitment efforts. As well as securing Hunt from Everton and Virtue from Blackpool, the acquisition of Mark Helm from Burton Albion looks a very solid signing. Helm notched eight goals and four assists in fifty-six appearances at League One level and has nearly 70 appearances in the Manchester United and Burnley youth set ups. We stupidly paid them a fee for Vela and they've used our money to rebuild their side.
Charlie Adam has been playing Ryan Graydon as a centre-forward (right-winger by trade) and he's weighed in with four goals so far this season in all competitions. They have a striker who's scored four goals already this season, what a feeling this must be.
Anyway, it's hard not to see anything else apart from an afternoon of struggle when we can't defend, have a flappy goalkeeper, several slow-arsed lumps in midfield and some shit strikers.
PREDICTION: Away win.
